Werewolf!

A guy contacted me recently after visiting this blog to commission me to design some art to grace his motorcycle. The brief was awesome - a tattoo-style werewolf, with Norwegian and Australian influences. While I wasn't able to squeeze in any Australiana, we came up with the above. The original design is on the left, and the client decided they wanted a more aggressive-looking wolf, which is where the face on the left comes in. The only changes left now are to remove the horns from the helmet. I'll be working on the finished piece (300mm wide x 200mm high) this week and hopefully I'll have something more to share shortly.
